§ 70. Mr. DAYasked the Minister of Health whether he can give the reasons for the removal of the 46 insurance practitioners who have been removed from the medical list since 1913?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe reason in each case was that the Minister was satisfied, after the prescribed inquiry, that the continued inclusion of the practitioner in the medical list would be prejudicial to the efficiency of the medical service of the insured.
§ Mr. DAYCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether in the majority of these cases it was through neglect on the part of these practitioners?
§ Mr. GREENWOODTheir removal was due, not to one, but to many reasons. The general reason for exclusion from the panel is that they are acting prejudicially to the interests of the patients.
